...September Power Lunch...

Looking for a great start to your month? Well then, check out our monthly First Friday Power Lunches!! Here’s a recap of our last outing:

For our September gathering, a beautiful sunny Friday afternoon greeted the NSBE alumni guests at Athena Grill, a Greek-cuisine restaurant located in Santa Clara. The lack of parking in close proximity to the restaurant was the first clue about the massive popularity held by this lunchtime Greek eatery. (Let’s all pretend that it being the ONLY restaurant on the street wasn’t a factor....)

Our illustrious Social Coordinator had enough foresight to secure a reservation, but the group still had to squeeze through the several-people-deep line to get to our table. Once seated, and after a bit of a delay due to miscommunication, plates of Hummus and other delicious Greek delicacies wafted their scents from the table. Here’s a helpful tip for future gatherings: if you ARRIVE early, you EAT early!

By the way, who can explain what Skordaliá tastes like? How about the (presumably) yummy Meltizanosaláta? No one? Hm. Hummus is easy – I can figure that one out on my own. The following can be forwarded to the owner: How about menus with pictures?

Please come out and join us for the next NSBE Alumni adventure in eating. The next Power Lunch will be on October 5th. Visit the NSBE-AE-SVC website more information.
